Have you contacted the rescue to see if they have any advice? Some may have a free telephone consultations with behaviourists which aren't ideal but a good place to start.

I'd agree to find a good class, with someone not only experienced with terriers, but with someone experienced at SUCCESSFULLY training terriers. My terrier was taught by terrier owners who tried to inflict the 'one size fits all' method on Fred that hadn't worked with their own dogs! I believe it's Rescue Remedies who say you can't train the terrier out of the terrier.

Walking with a dog walker, I like that idea! Most dogs used to being walked in groups get lots of practise defusing situations, only problem is, do the owners appreciate their dogs being used to practice on? Not that I am saying you are doing this, but it is something to consider.
